With big airy windows and a warm, welcoming vibe, this modern hair studio has attracted clients seeking out exceptional hair coloring results and the latest styling techniques. Owner Angela London says her passion for hair coloring and styling started as a child. “My mother and aunt are hair stylists, so I grew up in the industry,” Angela says. As a teenager, she started assisting at her mother’s salon in Colombia, and by age 20, she opened her own salon there. Angela moved to the United States in her mid-twenties, determined to continue her career in the beauty industry. She quickly learned English, got her NJ hairstylist license, and took classes at the Artistic Academy of Hair Design. She continued her education at L’Oreal Professionnel SOHO Academy and Vidal Sassoon in New York. Training at these top academies solidified for Angela that she wanted to shape her career as a professional colorist and specialist in balayage, a technique where the stylist free-hand paints highlights onto the hair. “I always knew I wanted my path to be a hair colorist. That’s what I really love and am passionate about,” says Angela. Angela worked at several salons in the area and in March 2023, she opened the Angela London Hair Studio, with a special focus on hair coloring. The team is known for creating beautiful and complex blondes and brunettes as well as doing fashion colors and color correction. To achieve these looks, Angela feels the client–stylist connection is extremely important. “We welcome all new clients and offer free consultations,” she says. “It’s very important that we listen to clients to learn about their needs so we can guide them with the best options for achieving the look they’re after.” The hair studio also offers other services like cuts, treatments, texturing, and even services for children. “I want the community to have a place in town where they can bring our toddlers, children, and teens for cuts. Many other places don’t allow kids.” Having her studio be a part of the Mendham community is important to Angela. She raised her daughter here and adores it. “It’s such a welcoming, supportive community. I just love it here,” she states. For Angela, the icing on the cake of being a hair studio owner is connecting with her staff. The team is composed of young, passionate, talented hair colorists and stylists. They all love to help clients and enjoy refining their hair styling and coloring skills. Angela loves sharing her knowledge with her team. “I love to help other people grow,” she says. “I want to pass on the legacy of what I have learned: If you work hard, are passionate about your art, and focus on it, you can make your dreams come true.” To learn more about Angela London Angela London Hair Studio, visit www.angelalondonhairstudio.com or call 973-434-2121.
